I was just reading Kershaw's "Hubris" last night and in it there's a photo of a Mercedes-Benz's showroom with two similar designed eagles mounted on the wall. Their sizes appear somewhat larger, if my guess-timate is correct, compared to the the Railroad ones shown in this thread. Besides the difference in size, I also noticed the shape of the chest of each eagle is more covexely shaped than the Railroad types with each of the eagle's head shown facing to the right of the viewer as opposed to the left. I'll be happy to post a scan of the photo as soon as my scanner gets to warm up and works correctly.
